Newest Edition, with less Ghork.


First thing first:
That dude of the Primitive Technology channel and all his copycats have a great advantage: access to unlimited supply of bamboo. Unlimited to their objectives. That stuff is great, tuff as shit, light as feather, can be used to many purpose with little modification and not too much work.

I also read most of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Responsibility_and_accountability
I think technology and it's use are running forward and lawmakers lag behind. Those who spent any time in the past two decades on the internet have a giant heap of data about them. I think Bernd posted a video about a security eggsbert, I think he works kind of a private investigator many time cooperating with officials and he said in that video anonymizing data worth nothing it can be de-anonymized with ease, and both companies and govt agencies do.
Now this law was passed at 2016. This year the EU countries have to start implementing it. Who knows how long it takes until it finishes. The whole stuff is kinda vague (it can be modified when necessary tho), and I don't know for example how the EU can force a foreign company to do whatever? There are sanctions but what jurisdiction the EU has over a US based firm for example Facebook and how the EU will force the sanctions onto for example said company?

Actually Nitter is still online, except it's from other people hosting instances for it. Only a few of the main ones went down. If you search online for nitter instances, there should still be a lot of them running. 

We still got that site up fam

 >>/55596/
Luckily this still lists some working instances:
https://status.d420.de/

Also for me FF and derivatives don't load the nitter instances properly. Media breaks. Chromium derivatives (even Brave) do. I'm thinking they implement some security stuff differently. FF has a warning in the settings that some staff can break sites.

So this "group" of analysts. Well it's not a real "group" but can be grouped together. Generally they are worth a listen because they give one alternative to the mainstream. They often tell facts that the mainstream won't, or put things in different light that worth consideration. Some has youtube channels, others don't. Some has own website or publish on Substack, some has books. They have different experiences and background, and even political leanings. Not one I could call "far right".
About some of them I have a formed opinion, others just an impression, the remainders, not much.
I think the biggest names are John Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, and Chas Freeman. Perhaps Glenn Diesen too who hosts podcasts. And perhaps Douglas Macgregor. In Iranian related topics Seyed Mohammed Marandi is worth listening since he basically tells the official standpoint of the Iranian government. Pascal Lottaz also has a yt channel and hosts these chats. I gathered Larry Johnson can be taken less seriously and he likes to imply things and inside knowledge to embolden his seriousness. Stanislav Krapivnik is talks about Russia related stuff, he reflects the confident Russian standpoint (everyone else is weak, we can crush everybody, etc.). I've seen Warwick Powell here and there, like on Jeff Rich's channel.
There are lots of one time guests, like Max Blumenthal of The Greyzone, or Mattias Desmet who's researching mass formation.
Yet to discover more, and bound to as well.

NFKRZ is now all Putin. I don't mind listening his takes and insights about the situation in Russia, but this is too much. I think last video I watched through was the GTA IV one.
I'm not sure what's with him. Is this only what his subscribers watch? Is this what the yt algo pushes? Is this what pays? I dunno.


Look who set up his own youtube channel?
John Mearsheimer - Offensive Realism
He is not lying, quite a few people find his takes offensive...

For now it's seems all just the current issues: Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Russia. I'd prefer if he put some videos up about the theoretical background, about Realism and International Relations in general. Maybe he will, mayhaps he won't.

 >>/55601/
While this isn't the place for political discussion I have to note.
Realism can give explanations of past events, and anchor us when we try to make sense of the world around, or even when we try to make decisions, reduce our ideological bias. But when it comes to predictions, it is really lousy. The reason of this inaccuracy: we are blinded by our biases, we have inherently distorted view of the world and we suck at making decisions.

Problem is the server is in Ukraine. Can't really say everything that should be said.
But frankly this will be the situation everywhere.

Yeah, KC was a busy place. This was a home for just a handful of Bernds, and now my blog.

Hungarian archer, Mónus József shot a world record today. He let his arrow fly over 1000 meters. He did this feat on an archery contest in Nevada, at Smith Creek. The even is hosted/organized by World Archery and US Archery.
Dude's 60 years old.

For now only in Hungarian:

Basho is going well for Onosato. He had 7-1 yesterday. He seems to be in better form, mainichi article stated he returned to full training after he recovered from injury. Hopefully he can keep up. He is young and potentially can reign long. I'm actually rooting for him to bag the yusho.
Aonishiki and Kirishima won't get closer to yokozuna promotion. But finally Kotozakura is doing good as an ozeki should.

Tank thread reup. So.

Today I had to bury the 6th dead bird this year. Not even this year, this summer! I would say I never ever buried this much but frankly before this I had to do this only twice in my whole life. I dunno what's going on with them.
It would be easier to just dump them into the dumpster but frankly I rather spend some energy and give them an ok final rest.
During digging I came across a very interesting archaeological findings: this tank on picrels. It wasn't mine and not any of my pals owned such or even played around that spot in our childhood so I suppose one of my family members owned this there are some possibilities.
What Bernd think what type of tank is this? I think it has the Sherman looks.

Also this can be a general vehicle/weapons thread as well.

Not all ships are the same so that does not help much. China has more ships than the US but most of those are small coastal ships.

The other competitor for this contract was German but their ship needed more crew and had a shorter life span so even though it was smaller than the Japanese one it would cost about the same over it's life time. Japanese ship is also configured to work with US navy ships so that helps us too. Plus there were probably diplomatic reasons, it makes more sense for us to work with Japan than Germany seeing as Germany has no presence or interest in this area anyway.

The UK recently build two, HMS Elizabeth(named after Elizabeth I not II) and HMS Prince of Wales. It's struggling to maintain it's navy though, but with the new funding they will get they may be able to finally maintain it properly, also personnel retention is an issue(that's the case in most western nations, hence why Australia wanted the ship with less crew).

I think you can say that some of the lines and settings are inspired by the book. You can read then watch both and you can see the comparison.

Same creepy environment so I can kinda see that

Reading the Silo novel series. Which was adapted into this:  >>/55519/
I read better novels, but the premise is good, and the story is interesting. One prominent aspect is that the author don't describe his characters, their physical characteristics rarely come up if ever. He spend the most precise description to Bernard, the antagonist. Even Jules gets nowhere that much attention to that, tho we learn a lot about her idiosyncrasies and such, so we get a different kind of familiarity. I think in the telly show Rebecca Ferguson was a good pic for the role.
The story has some strong female characters but it's not obnoxious unlike anything American television and movie industry produces these years.
I think it worth a read.

I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.
 
You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.
 
You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.
 
The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

Articles says he still suffers from the shoulder injury of late 2025. We could see it in January too. Wikipee says:
> dislocation of the left acromioclavicular joint
I'm not sure if he'll be able to fite in May. They might push it. I think Teru had to rassle in more serious condition. The problem I see is that Onosato is so young still. If he could recover he could be a fine yokozuna for a long time.

> Aonishiki
I do agree. I think this was a learning opportunity for him. I don't expect a yusho from him next tournament, but he will definitely prepare to be better rounded, and learn his opponents more.

Wew, Natsu Basho starts today. I was afraid I couldn't get source, but managed. Was a hard go.
So Slov, if you read this, sumo is on in the next 15 days at 18:30 CEST.
https://cytu.be/r/endcorner

I still yet to write an intro for this, what to expect whom to watch.
Ah I heard Aonishiki starts with kyujo on the first week, high chance he'll be kadoban.

At the top of the banzuke Onosato and Aonishiki will start kyujo. So the banzuke will be a bit lopsided with one yokozuna and two ozekis. But that's fine.
Atamifuji is sekiwake now, just as Kotoshoho who managed to pull a good basho last time again, after previous bad performances. I expect Tummy to keep his form and Kotoshoho to lose now.
Veterans Wkage and Takayas at komusubi.
Tiny Fujinowaka at M1. It will be hard for him, expecting losing some ranks after the basho. But it's okay, it is very good place for someone his size.
Yushinofuji at M2 and OHO at M3. I really hope the big lad will do well this time around.
Hakunofuji down at M10. Expecting better results now. Hoping problems are smoothed out with Teru.
Old man Tamawash'. Is he getting too old? Can he pull a better one now?
Towards the end of the banzuke it's Wakanosho and Fujiryoga whomster we should pay mind. Youngsters both, not without talent.

Juryo
Taker's recovery is a question. And there is his stable mate Toshinofuji. He did well last time.
And ENHO!!!!! At the very end at J14.

All right. That's about it me thinks.
